That does not compute. The *istD is smaller than the K10D, yet has a CF card. If you think CF or CF & SD would have made the camera larger you are most likely wrong. The decision was 98% marketing, millions of folks already have an SD card for their phone. Luddites and pros who want CF can buy something else, after all they are only a small percentage of the market. But I guess it is good they are standardizing a bit. Better than having a CF in the laptop, an SD in the Pocket Computer, and a XD in the camera. But wait? The camera and the pocket computer also take CF's. So much for that theory <grin>.
